Damn, there was a shooting at an Asian massage parlor right down the street from me. 4 people dead, possibly more, and they're still looking for the suspect. Wondered why I been hearing nothing but police and ambulance sirens for the last 45 minutes.

MAC stands for Military Arms Channel, which is a popular Gun YouTube channel. The actual guy who runs it is Tim Harmsen, who owns a gun store in Valparaiso, ID. He is a pretty connected guy and in my opinion one of the better YouTube gun guys.

Anyways, he is in some deep doodoo right now because his gun shop bough all the stock of a limited run gun and is being accused of price gouging and unethical business practices, because he posted them on GB and subverted a “list of buyers” from a forum lined up to purchase them after they “did so much work” to get them here.

I like how price gougers who buy all the inventory and list it on gunbroker disgust him, but then he does the same thing himself.

I really do think there is a difference here that is a bit nuanced that makes him not a hypocrite.

I would only consider it price gouging when a person buys up all of an everyday necessity to turn around and sell them at an increased cost. The FEG SVD is at this point basically a collectors item. This is not a production gun, at least as of now in March 2021. The gun was meant to sell well above the average rifle, even above fairly high end rifles. From what I’ve read, the buyers on the list were expecting to pay around $3,000 for one. This is not a situation where a guy is buying all the Glock 19s for $600 from a local store to sell them on GB for $1,200 a piece during a gun shortage. This is not the same as a guy buying all the .223 from a gun store to sell at $2 a round.

To me, saying MAC is price gouging is like comparing some guy buying all the canned food before a hurricane to a restauranteur buying the last three lobsters in the tank.

Did you watch the MAC video where he preached about price gougers? I'm just going by the ordinary meaning of the words that came out of his mouth - how he defined those people. It's not about how you define a gouger.

One of the the main reasons it got hype is because it was supposed to be cheaper than something like a NDM-86. It's supposed to be a production gun as well. It was never supposed to be a collector item had the market not been intentionally cornered.

Difference of opinion I suppose...
